Recently,
I’ve been doing a little research about
Minimalism. Not the architecture so much, but the lifestyle. Living with
less “stuff”, and being completely content. Being Completely happy with 2 pairs
of jeans and a shirt for everyday of the week. Getting rid of clutter, things
you don’t need, things you never should have purchased, or just things that
just plain don’t matter! There are quite a few of movements out there, more and
more people giving up things and growing in character, life experiences and
memories, rather than just living for the American Dream; Bigger is better, or
is it? Check out the few sites I’ve listed..get a taste for what people are
doing while the majority work to acquire more debt and more STUFF.
After,
reading about the 100 –Thing Challenge, I started to think..I think I have well
over a hundred things in my linen closet alone! I have over 30 bottles of nail
polish, mostly different shades of Red & pink…is this really necessary?!?!
I’m starting to go through my things, just in time for “Spring Cleaning” , out
with the things I haven’t used in at least 30 days and taking a small tally of
wasted money along the way..
Unnecessary
Product of the Day - Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller
Don’t ask me
why I fall for these products sometimes. I bought this awhile ago, before I was
on the “All natural” band wagon, I would never purchase this now. Besides
containing mostly ingredients that I can’t pronounce, it has a few dyes, and a
few ingredients that are carcinogens-questionably. It also has an ingredient
that may or may not be linked to the progression of Alzheimer’s!! Yay! I’m so
glad I rubbed that on my eyes for a week. And of course it contains pigments
derived from animals. It can’t all be that bad; the tube says it has Lemon
Extract. Woohoo. I’m always in a desperate search for something to help with my
dark circles, although deep down I know it’s just hereditary and will never
change. Once again I’m a victim of consumerism. Cost to buy this now from
Walgreens is $12.99! I’m sure I had a
coupon at the time. One product out..only about a million left. J
